“Prop. 206, as passed by the voters of Arizona, exempts entities like ASU from the adjustments to the minimum wage,” the university statement read.

The statement also said ASU was still a top employer because of their benefits such as schedule flexibility.

Secondary education freshman Isabella Anzaldua just started working for the athletic department as a computer lab monitor. She said she makes $8.05 per hour which is the standard minimum wage before the increase induced by Prop. 206.

“Honestly, it doesn’t bother me that much because if it had gone up this semester, my hours would have been cut more,” Anzaldua said.

Anzaldua said she never backed the minimum wage increase to begin with.

“I didn’t think that the minimum wage increase was necessarily a good idea just because prices were going to increase everywhere,” Anzaldua said. “But I’m comfortable with my salary even though I just started and everything."

Because Anzaldua is in college, she said doesn't think she needs the wage increase and that $2 won't make much of a difference.

“I think it will definitely be an adjustment just because I feel like people’s hours are going to be cut because of it,” Anzaldua said. “But who knows what will happen? I’m sure it can’t be that bad.”

Anzaldua said she didn’t get the job solely for the money. She also said her mother had an on-campus job when she was in school and encouraged her to do the same.

“It’s a great way to build my resume while in college and make connections and get basic work experience for when I actually have to go and find a job after I graduate,” Anzaldua said.
